Home from a weekend away with friends and armfuls of eucalypts and other natives from their property. Plan is to test all of these to create a dye palette unique to their location. . . . #Naturaldyeworkshop #naturaldye #theschool #collectedcolour #natural #Ayurveda #healingcolour #plantsaremagic #joannafowles #sustainabletextiles #jofowlesnaturaldyeattheschool #naturalcolour #plantdye #nativeaustraliandyeplants #eucalyptus #eucalyptusdye #dyepaintbox

After a hours prepping and mordanting fabrics nothing is more rewarding than pulling bundles of colour out of dye pots. Over 400 colours were made with many more still possible. A remarkable outcome. Here is talented Emma who creates beautiful bedding @fictionalobjects and Kirsty from @____ertha plant healing balms. Part of the magic of a workshop is the people that come, the connections and conversations we have and the bonds that are formed through spending a long period together. Learning together and sharing. I feel honoured to have opportunities like these 🙏 @theschoolinstagram . . .

So much preparation today by natural dye students. Cutting fabrics, grouping and mordanting in preparation for 10 natural dye vats. So many magical moments at students discover plant magic after their labours to see the wonderful variety of colours nature creates. #naturaldye #naturalfibres #theschool #joannafowles #naturaldyeworkshop #plantsaremagic #jofowlesnaturaldyeattheschool (at The School)
